This band changed my life... my point of view on many world's things. Their music it's like a strong and ancestral force that give me a sort of sadness that i need sometimes...
I haven't seen this video for years! Thanks a lot for posting it! The Sisters of Mercy was one of the great bands in the 80s! It's really a pity that time passes so fast and we can't back to those years again...
Love the Band and the song, this and Fields of the Nephilim was my way of dress in the mid 80's in Seattle with black leather riding coat and brimmed leather hats. Sisters where much better when Wayne Hussey was with them although I wouldn't throw away any of my sisters albums. but my enter the sisters is my favorite.
All the shots of Mr Eldritch driving were on a trailer at the insistence of the director - he couldn't drive and nearly totalled the hire car first go. Several long shots are of a crew member in a hat and wig :)
The music for Black Planet was written by Wayne Hussey, asleep in the back with Craig!. Great to see the three of them together before they disintegrated.
@TheMel4life -that's awesome...I was at the Fender's show that night...local band Fontanelles opened...I only have the flyer for the event but it was quite a night...lots of drama..people jumping on stage, messing with equipment. unhooking mic cables, Andrew and Craig were visibly pissed....the band stormed offstage, came back and played an abbreviated set and left...but I still wouldnt trade the experience for anything..got to stand three feet from them on stage...
He had a uniqe deep voice , can take u or lead u to unknown frontiers , en adventure , i used to listen a lots to the sisters by smoking weed , abselut amezing music
sadly and hard to say "so dark all over Europe" nowadays... thanks to global warmth and over popullation! and polution! I wish we had dull days as we did formerly! WE RUN AROUND IN THE ACID RAIN ALRIGHT ALREADY! GREAT LOVELY SONG AND POST!
I know, I read that episode too, it's too funny! Like one day they brought back the car from filming with a bump, and he says "I think I know what happened". LOL!

@777LexTalionis777 It's the Monkeemobile. You should read about it and all of the other cars built by Barris Kustom Industries for television series, movies and celebrities. Shows like The Monkees and The Munsters had a big effect on English kids. Look at Spiders era Bowie. Listen to The Sex Pistols cover of '(I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone.' Pete Townshend described the 100w heads that he developed with Jim Marshall as being like "something straight out of The Munsters."
This isn't what Leol was talking about in HxH... I don't know why anyone would think so. He says that the name of the band is Black Planet this band obviously does not have that name. He was talking about their second album which is 60min long...
So still so dark all over Europe And I ride down the highway 101 By the side of the ocean headed for sunset For the kingdom come for the Black Black planet Black Black world Run around in the radiation Run around in the acid rain On a Black Black planet Black planet hanging over the highway Out of my mind's eye Out of the memory Black world out of my mind Still so dark all over Europe And the rainbow rises here In the western sky The kill to show for At the end of the great white pier I see a Black black black Planet black black world black Planet black world Run around in the radiation Tune in turn on burn out in the acid rain on a Black black black Planet black black world black Planet black world Run around in the radiation Tune in turn on burn out in the acid rain on a Black black black Planet black black world black Planet black world
I would have loved to have heard Eldritch trying to pitch this video to Elektra "...yeah, but the car HAS to be the Monkee Mobile !! No! Not "Christine" or "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!!" Actually, I think the Peterbuilt from "Duel" would have been perfect...
@Monitorreiniger The Siouxsie and The Budgie? I adored The creatures in the 90's. I used to live in Budgies old hall of residence room in Battersea. My cleaner told me i would not get up for college on time, same as he would not. I teach Art now. x

@MrCopyrat It doesn't fit the song? The Western Sky? My Kingdom Come? As I ride on the Highway 101 By the side of the ocean headed for sunset. Do you know where this was filmed? The instant Eldritch sings "Run around in the acid rain" the camera is directed at what from the Monkeemobile? The Sisters are driving through an ? At the end of a great white Pier Eldritch tunes in, turns on and burns out! When Eldritch sings "I see a" the camera zooms in on Eldritch with his shades.
